Any bets who in Harford County is getting paid to push this thing thru? When the cancer and disease in the area starts they will be long gone. I bet there are more than a few corrupt attorneys making $$$ on this one!
When cancer and disease “START”? Are you new to the area?
Please explain your point……
I find your comment to be incredibly ignorant. Clearly, the project will have environmental benefits to Harford County.
This is an outrage, we have councilmen that run on the platform of keep us rural and there is a proposal to open a plant that will turn tires into gas? If we start burning tires what the hell are we going to use to keep the blue tarp on the single wide?
Environmental benefits….Any bets the government made the same claims about burn pits? Now Veterans are paying for it. The government knew damn well they weren’t safe.
It’s not obvious to me that this is safe or benefiial and you can bet there is big money behind it. The politicians could care less about the long term consequences.
The project will rehabilitate a decaying area, employ the destitute, and enhance wildlife.
Tires and trucks will come from everywhere. There will be a stench. There will be traffic on rt 7 and carcinogens. We are not the ass of the county. We are the face. Where are the candidates on this issue?
Stop feeling sorry for yourself.
Boo hoo.
It’s a good project that will rehabilitate a decaying area, and help wildlife. I, for one, am more likely to support a candidate who backs this enterprise.
If its such a positive project then lets build it in Bel Air. In fact Glenn lets build it right in your back yard. This way you can enjoy it.
Come On Now, I would welcome it. It will make the area prettier and enhance wildlife. The deer will like it.
I really hope this was approved. It will enhance this area.
Beryl, I think that you are an idiot.
